Chapter 110: Hatchlings (9)

No one knows that one of these selected sturdy men is Ke Meiyi, the newly appointed governor sent to Hezhou by the current imperial court. The always dim light in the cave helped Mei Yi www.biquge.info him to hide in the cave for a few days without any danger until he was selected as one of the few people to enter the depths of the cave. Looking at the other people's expressions, most of them were frightened, but those who were not selected had happy faces on their faces. Mei Yi didn't know why this was the case, so she had to take one step at a time. As everyone entered the cave, the terrain became lower and wetter all the way, and finally came to a pool of deep water, but until this time, Mei Yi did not see the true face of the famous Hong Eighteen. Mei Yi tried her best to pretend that nothing was happening, and waited for what would happen next. The water surface illuminated by the lights is like a mirror, but there is nothing in the water, and there are no pavilions on the water surface around. Mei Yi shook his head and found that he was starting to think crankily. At this moment, there was a leader who looked at him with such a very high status, so that everyone present was respectful to this person and did not dare to slack off at all. The comer instructed the chosen ones to undress them and jump into the water to wait for the summons of the chief Hong 18. Feelings, this Hong Eighteen is really in this bottomless water. Mei Yi had an idea in his head, and his movements in his hands were slower, and he didn't know who stretched out his legs and kicked him behind him, Mei Yi hadn't finished taking off his clothes, so he fell into the water.

When I returned to Hezhou City, it was already ten days later. The master pretended to be indifferent in the governor's mansion, resisting the inquiries of the military and political people under the governor's subordinates, and it had reached the point where there was almost no excuse, but fortunately, at this time, the governor Ke Meiyi, who was dressed as a woodcutter, returned to the mansion. The master didn't bother to inquire about the whereabouts of the Governor, and first reported the situation in the city to the Lord. After Mei Yi washed and changed his clothes with fatigue, he dealt with some ordinary chores, and then retired from his subordinates, leaving only the master and him to enter the inner hall to talk. Only then did the master know what the governor had seen in the past few days, and it sounded unbelievable and made people sigh. That day, Mei Yi was selected to go deep into the cave and was kicked into the water before she could take off her clothes. Having just entered the water, Mei Yi, like everyone else, wanted to keep his head above the water so that he could breathe smoothly. But he soon found that this water was not ordinary water, the buoyancy of this water was very small, and the few people around him, after a period of hard fluttering, gradually lost their strength and slowly fell into the water and disappeared without a trace. Mei Yi was a little flustered, he twisted his neck to look at the shore, and found that those people on the shore didn't know when they had left the shore, so he changed his mind, no longer trying to get out of the water, but dived into the water, and simply used the remaining strength to swim towards the shore.

The water smelled unbearably fishy. Mei Yi held his breath and dived into the water, stepping on the water with his feet and swimming towards the shore. After a long time, Mei Yi found that he did not approach the shore at all, but swam all the way down the slope in the water. Mei Yi calmly turned around and continued to swim, his body went from being unbearable in his chest at the beginning, to being unbearably depressed at all, he didn't actually notice it, but he just felt that in the dark water, there was something swimming very fast, swimming around him. The water brought by the swimming of this thing is strong and powerful, which shows that the size of this thing is very large, and the monsters that appear in the strange water are definitely not good, Mei Yi thought of this, and began to speed up the movements of his hands and feet, and he swam towards the shore with his senses. Because he had been thinking about how to get rid of it as much as he could, he couldn't grasp the direction at all, and he swam for a long time, and when he saw the light that was shining in the water, Mei Yi secretly screamed, it's broken.

Mei Yi, who had lost his direction, drilled out of the water and found that he was already in the middle of a turquoise pool, and the deep pool in the original cave could lead here. Mei Yi looked at the surrounding terrain and swam towards the shore, but someone in the forest exclaimed in surprise and flew away. Mei Yi stood up close to the shore, feeling a lot taller, not good. Mei Yi's body shape has changed, and it must be that someone on the shore saw it and thought it was a monster appearing, so he fled away. Mei Yi was so tired that he lay on the shore to rest for a while, and only then did he find a woodcutter's clothes and even an axe in the grass. So it turned out, Mei Yi waited until his body was completely restored and wore ill-fitting clothes, pinned the axe to his waist, looked for his way down the mountain, and asked the direction of Hezhou on the official road, and then rushed all the way back to Hezhou. The master stroked his beard and said slowly, according to people, this Hong Eighteen has its own people, but why did you enter the cave but didn't see it, why were you summoned by Hong Eighteen, and you had to get into the water? An idea appeared in Mei Yi's mind, and he just wanted to talk to his master, but when he looked up, he saw that his master was also looking at him. The master nodded, signaling that the two should have the same thoughts. The master suggested that you should go to the mountains on a certain day, and there are some things that need to be discussed. Mei Yi agreed.

After the establishment of the young state, there was always too much to do, but fortunately there was no war, and the representatives of the various territories were businessmen with deep management experience, so a lot of work could be handled. With all that was in order, Curris left with the only troops that had not been disbanded after the end of the war, and went to open up a wider territory for the nascent United States of Amerik, which was headed in the vast west. The newly-born United States was restored to its pre-war appearance, as if war had never come, except for the buildings in the towns that had been destroyed by artillery fire. For the townspeople, the man who collected the tax became an acquaintance of the people who lived in the territory, rather than the high-spirited tax collector sent by the fat governor of Bres, and this was probably the biggest change. The techniques used in Curris's workshops were introduced and taught to other factories free of charge, many of which were able to produce more goods, the economy began to improve, and within a few months the market was booming beyond pre-war levels.

Of course, Curris knew this, and he would be very happy as the chief consul elected by the realm, but he did not know this, and soon after the war was over, Kuris embarked on a new journey. The long journey, the novel sights and encounters along the way, reminded Curris of his expedition on the continent of Ephyreic, when his identity was still a fake item bought with countless gold coins - the younger brother of the Prime Minister of the Empire. Looking back on the past, looking at him and his assistant, now Secretary of State of the United States, Warman, it seems that they are not much older at all. The soldiers around him were tired on horseback, as if they were lifeless machines that only knew how to obey orders, which in itself constituted a strange picture of a past life. When Warman asked again about the origin of these strong soldiers, Curris did not answer, but asked about Warman's experience. Just in time, Warman took advantage of the free time of the march to tell Curris about his experience at the bottom of the sea. When Warman said that he had been activated by the monsters of the undersea base, he was sent out of the base, and the people who entered the base with him were also released after some of the memories in their minds were cleared, and they drifted back at sea until they encountered Frans's fleet that cut off the retreat of the Brethians on the periphery. Curris asked if he had seen the strange creatures he had seen, Korors, and his assistant Endals. Warman shook his head as he recalled, but he remembered something else.

According to Warman, Curris and Warman, in fact, what is in their heads, are actually subordinate to the base deep under the sea. And some of the ideas and clever ideas and propositions did not come entirely from the two of them, but were evaluated through a complex process through the giant machines in the base. Even the sophistication of the two of them was controlled by the constant activation and activation of some so-called programs at the base under the sea, and Curris and Warman were a little gloomy in the face of such judgments. They looked at the neatly lined up soldiers around them as they made their way through the narrow mountain path, and guessed that they wouldn't be the same, and that the difference between them and Curris was only a difference in rank from the base. When Warman mentioned the strange black machine, Curris immediately concluded that it was a robot on a defense mission, and he judged that if it wasn't for the machine detecting that Warman was a person approved by the base, I am afraid that Warman and the people he brought with him would have died at the bottom of the sea. It is even impossible for them to open the entrance to the base and enter it, the question is what is the basis for the recognition of the base? Warman asked, and Curris didn't think much of it, pointing to the exposed veins on his left hand, where the reins were tightened, saying that it was something special that flowed inside.

Warman suddenly understood that I am afraid that many of the things he and his master Curris had encountered in the past were related to these flowing things. This includes experiences on the continent of Emeryric, as well as two visits to the undersea base. But where does this peculiarity come from? Curris shook his head and said dear Warman, didn't you notice that in fact, both of us are people without childhood? Warman thought about it, and sure enough. For as long as they can remember, their knowledge of their origins has come from the statements of the people who live around them, and their parents have never been officially present. In other words, in fact, they may simply be living in a deliberately designed story about their origins, and their past is set. Curris said softly, you and I have all encountered the strange experience of our own transformation, and I think this is the best embodiment of the connotation of the word bloodline in us. We are different from ordinary human beings. Curris told Warman that during his past travels in many parts of Europa, he had access to many books and picture books depicting the lineage of the so-and-so family. Without exception, these sources say that their families are the result of God's favor, and that their ancestors are of miraculous and noble blood. He asked Warman, you followed me to a lot of places, and found that no, many family emblems are very revealing. For those noble generations of big families that I have the right to, there will almost always be a pattern of a strange beast on the family emblem. Many ordinary people think that this is just a totem that the family has been excited about from ancient times to the present, but if you think about it from another angle, you will be surprised by your thoughts, what if these strange beasts were originally the ancestors of these families?

Warman nodded, then shook his head, saying that there are people whose ancestors didn't even have the appearance of a minimum human being. How can they make their offspring look like ordinary people? Curris said, "Which do you think is more difficult to solve this problem than controlling one's mind and intelligence at the far end of the sea?" Warman mused without answering. Curris went on to say that what kind of divine blood, I am afraid that the so-called holy is just synonymous with weirdness. As for why the noble family has to advocate intermarriage with other equally noble families, it is only to resist the irreversible degradation of the bloodline in each generation with artificial strength. Pointing to the lush plants growing in the valley not far away, Curris said, "We all know that the seeds plucked from nature, if planted, will cause a considerable part of each generation to deteriorate irreversibly, and the same is true of these noble people." At this time, there was a slight commotion in the front line, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.

Locke had always believed that the governance of an empire was not necessarily more complicated than helping his wife iron a cotton shirt at home. Since Frans is no longer an ally of Emmeric, they can be allies of Breth. He believed that a territorial nation that barely came out of its infancy to learn to walk would not be able to withstand the combined attack of the two traditional empires no matter what. As for the outcome of the war, the most important thing for him to worry about was probably how to protect the interests of Blees in Emmeric to the greatest extent while satisfying Frans's great appetite for the Sun King. With such an idea, the negotiations and preliminary cooperation with Frans went very smoothly. Frans agreed to send troops to the other end of the continent of Emerik and attack Emerik with the east and west of Breth. Locke laughed at the terms of the memorandum sent by the Frans messenger, these old-fashioned Fransians, their wisdom was as simple and direct as the bulky battle axes they wielded in their hands hundreds of years ago, this was obviously to directly grab territory with Breth, if there was any other intention, it was not to give the Supreme Commander of Breez the opportunity to dictate the battle of the Frans. Locke politely sent Frans's messenger away, thinking about the reply he had received not long ago. The marshals of the Reich reassured the new Prime Minister that Frans was at least ten years behind Brees. Locke wouldn't have taken all the promises that this bunch of pedantic old things had patted on his chest, but the intelligence showed that Frans was indeed going to lag behind Bules. The Prime Minister smiled slightly, not noticing that Father Wells had come behind him without notice.

The assembled Breez fleet was clearly fully prepared. In order to fight and gain a foothold in Emerik for a long time, Prime Minister Locke accepted the suggestion of some parliamentarians to pardon many criminals sentenced to prison in the Supreme Court and the territory, and encouraged them to immigrate to Emerik on the condition that he fully support any means of control of the Emerik territory. This alone adds up to tens of thousands of eligible immigrants from each realm, who have flocked to crowded ocean-going cargo ships to follow the Imperial fleet to overseas territories. In the words of the Prime Minister, I don't need the people in the territory anymore, I represent the empire, and the only thing I want to get back is land. In order to achieve covert operations, the navy blocked all the routes to the continent of Emerik in advance, and coordinated its actions with the Frans Empire, cutting off other routes from Europa to Amerik, although some countries accused the two powers of rogue behavior, but the strength dictated, the accusation was only an accusation, and no country stood up to take any real action against the actions of Belles. Locke is complacent, and a new war will take place the moment the Empire's fleet landing craft touch the land of Amerik.

Curris noticed a slight commotion at the front of the group, and he and Warman stepped forward to take a look. In the valley in the distance, there was a smoke rising in zigzags, which indicated that there were people. Judging by the scale of the smoke, Curris judged that it must not have been emitted by nomadic hunters, and that there were no hunters in this place at all, because it was too far from the town. If it is a native, then it illustrates a problem, and it is also the biggest problem that Curris wants to open up territory for the United States: how to take the land of the owner for himself. Curris ordered the commander, leading the team, to speed up and rest in the crowded areas ahead before dark. The speed of the ranks increased markedly, and the mood was high, and the soldiers roared and rode down the hill, looking more like they were going to occupy the place. The Commander told Mr. Curris that it was close to their homeland, but strangely enough, they had never heard of any people in these places before. The commander said that because of the presence of such a powerful force in this area, no one wanted to approach and compete with them for territory. Now it's probably because they've been here since they left. Curris looked at the soldiers in the crisp Continental Army uniforms around him, and remembered that when these soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, they were some indigenous strong men who had just come out of the tribe, and they could quickly become soldiers who could use advanced weapons, and I was afraid that it had something to do with the base.
